Breastfeeding SupportGOT MILK? The Breastfeeding relationship is so important... if you need support, or are a boobie juice pro, come on in! This is the breast (uh, um best) discussion board on the web.
Just wanted to thank all the mamas who replied to me about my low supply troubles. I took the suggestions and my milk is back up.
I stopped giving bottles (though did offer some water in a cup a couple times), and nursed pretty much most of the night for a couple of nights straight.
I stopped taking the allergy medicine - using saline nasel mist instead to clear my nose, have been taking fenugreek tablets, have mothers milk tea on the way - but found a tea with fennel in it for now and I've been drinking extra water besides. I've been doing marshmallow root infusions - which was suggested by the lady at the health food store.

I am glad things are going better. You are such a great mom for persevering. I didn't see your original post - if I had, I would have gladly offered to send you some Mother's Milk tea. If you need more, please PM me.
Great work, mama!
